That article has so many logical fallacies of its own as well though. So because they think black people disrespect themselves, that it's open season on them then for everyone else to do the same? That's about as lame as arguing with a cop that you weren't the only one speeding so you shouldn't get a ticket, or saying you shouldn't get jail for raping a female because look at how she was dressed, or saying I saw Girls Gone Wild. Every race and social group has its self deprecators, using the logic of that author we could just go around doing or saying whatever the hell we want to whomever the hell we want, then cop out by saying "well they say/do it too."
